Austrian steelmaker Voestalpine AG said it paid roughly EUR 50 million for European carbon permits between 2008 and 2012 and expects to pay a multiple of that number from 2013-2020 as EU carbon tax laws are revised.
In a bid to support flagging carbon prices in Europe, the European Commission recently announced plans to temporarily hold back the supply of 900 million of the EU carbon permits that companies are forced to buy to cover their emissions.
Mr Wolfgang Eder CEO told a news conference in London that "On the one hand the industry is being forced politically not to withdraw from Europe, on the other hand there is every few months a new decision putting pressure especially on the cost side.”
Mr Eder, who said overcapacity in Europe''s steel industry remains at a crippling 30 to 40 million tonnes, was speaking after the company posted second quarter earnings before interest and tax of 177 million euros.
